Historical Note
During the period May 27-31, 1968 the Second International Conference on Thermionic Electrical Power Generation met in Stresa, Italy. A thermion is an electrically charged particle emitted by an incandescent substance; hence thermionics is a branch of physics dealing with such phenomena. The conference in Stresa attracted a great number of scientists from around the world, many of whom prepared papers on their research in the field. The papers were collected by Samuel Rousso, Assistant Atomic Energy Scientific Representative at the American Embassy in Paris, France.
